Lucero babbles a ton. This video doesn't prove it though. I think she gets too intrigued with the grey little box I'm holding in front of her to do anything.
Maybe another time I can capture it.

100 Days
One hundred days ago I became a mother to this precious little one. Isn't she lovely?
Lucero in late June. This was pre-hairbows.
Look how long her hair is. By the way, that's a makeshift tub. We're using a storage bin while her actual tub is in storage.
My little Red Raider.
Mommy and baby. Yes, the hairbow is pink. We did not have a red bow at this point.
Lucero's only friend - the little orange birdie.
Don't you just want to kiss her all over?
Lucero at 3 months. She weighed in at 13lbs 7oz.

A Year Ago
A year ago this week I had my last period. The thought of having a baby was far fetched. In fact, the only things on my mind were 1) buying Willie Nelson tickets, and 2) joining the new neighborhood gym. I did both.
The Willie Nelson concert wasn't until October, just two days before my birthday, and he was appearing at my favorite little venue - Floores Country Store - so I bought tickets for both X and I and we would be meeting Golightly there. I had never seen Willie in concert before and I thought Floores would be the perfect venue for that.
After about two years of quitting the gym, I finally had some extra money in my bank account to join again and this gym was going to be perfect. It was a small neighborhood gym scheduled to open in late September. It would have cardio machines and strength training equipment, everything I needed/wanted in a gym. But the best thing about it was that it would be a mere two blocks from the house I was living in! I wouldn't have had to hassle with traffic, street lights, whatever, 'cause you know, getting to the gym is half the battle. I was so excited that I would be able to begin working out again and finally get some more tone back.
Well, yall know the rest of the story, and as a result of coming up pregnant I still went to see Willie Nelson, but I had to enjoy it sober. I was sober, watching a bunch of people getting drunk, enjoying Willie. Not exactly what I had in mind for the first time I saw him in concert. I'm still bitter about that.
And as far as the gym, well, the first trimester of pregnancy kicked my butt fatigue-wise. I was the most tired I had ever been (ha - until of course I had Lucero, which brought on a whole new meaning to fatigue). Throw in the nausea and I just couldn't get myself up for working out. Without even having the opportunity to use it once, I had to go quit the new neighborhood gym. I lost my enrollment fee money and everything. I was pretty bummed.
So a year later, what am I thinking about? I'm thinking how incredibly adorable my little one is, how just the sight of her makes me realize what a blessing she is, and how I can't believe how much time has passed since she's entered my world. I love her.

My Little Big Baby
It's been some time since I've shared some pictures of Lucero. The ones below are from late June. I'll try to post some more recent ones soon.
Someone was sucking on the pacifier a bit too much.
Finally - a picture of mommy and baby!
Uncle John holding his first neice.
Lucero trying to stay sitting up, but not really.
She doesn't look like me, but she's still a beauty.
